More Steven Seagal Allegations


Each day, more and more women are coming forward with their allegations of sexual harassment or abuse at the hands of Steven Seagal. This weekend, and unidentified woman who said she was hired to be an actress in the movie "Out For Justice," told the NY Post that she and other women on the set were told to show up at Steven's trailer or hotel room to be naked for him or to perform other sexual acts. When she refused, she says she was fired from the movie. At the time these events occurred, Steven was still married to Kelly LeBrock.

"The wardrobe girl gave me a tacky corset and a tiny skirt and told me, 'He wants you to try this on,' [and] . . . led me into the bedroom. As soon as I undressed, he tried to come in. I didn't have a top on, so I pushed the door closed and screamed. When I came out, my boobs were hanging out. I was offered a contract."

"At least two other actresses on the set had beepers. He would beep them to go to his hotel room at night. His then-wife Kelly LeBrock was suspicious and showed up on set. She had just given birth to their son. I felt so bad for her. One night, he called me at home . . . he said, 'Do you want to come to my hotel room?' I said, 'I don't feel comfortable with that.' He asked if I wanted to perform a sex act on him. I said, 'I have a boyfriend and you are married.' Days later I was released -- technically, fired."

None of this surprises me. I just wish people had come forward sooner. I think a lot of the people coming forward now are doing so because Jenny McCarthy did. Of course when Jenny did come forward before, no one really paid attention so I can see why someone who is not as big of a star as Jenny would feel scared to lose out on possible jobs especially if no one is going to listen to them or take it seriously anyway.
